Menu_ratio gives different result when maximized on a 1920x1080 screen.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When running Grafx2 on a 1920 x 1080 screen and maximizing the window, the 
menus can change size or aspect ratio depending on what setting I've chosen in 
gfx2.ini. For example, if using Menu_ratio = 1, the UI is stretched to an ugly 
2x width when I Maximize the Window. If i "unmaximize" and resize the windows 
manually to the maximized size, the UI is in the correct aspect ratio.

I tested it on Ubuntu and Windows XP, and with grafx2 v2.3 and v2.4, the bug 
prevails across versions and platforms. On lower screen resolutions it doesn't 
seem to be a problem.

A minor issue that is easily worked around, but still a slight annoyance.

If you don't want it to zoom the menus, set the setting to "Do not adapt" (or 
-1, which does the same)...
This setting applies in addition to the pixel scaler, so I think you must have 
a pixel scaler like Triple where the entire window iz zoomed x3 already. It can 
then start "menu zooming" if the window reaches at least 1600x1200 (320x3x2 * 
200x3x2). If your screen is actually 1920x1200, I'm not surprised if the height 
1200 can only be reached by maximizing, because dragging window edges tend to 
always leave a single pixel border.

The problem (discussed over IRC) is :
 - In windowed mode the system always figures out a way to make the menu look square, even when using a "wide" display mode
 - in maximized mode, however, the menu is wide, whereas it could be square.

I had no time to try it myself, however.

It's also worth noting that this is on linux and with a dual-head display, 
which might be part of the problem (or maybe not). GrafX2 is maximized to only 
one of the two screens.

I doubt the dual-head display is part of the problem, because when I tried it 
in XP I used VirtualBox, with only one guest screen. When shrinking the virtual 
screen (emulating a lower resolution) the problem dissapeared. (The UI aspect 
ratio no longer changed when maximizing.)

I also want to repeat that this is a very minor issue; the software is still 
fully usable and no functions are affected. Maybe the priority on this one 
should be set to low.

Sure. That's no worry right now however, we just released version 2.4 and we've 
not decided yet what 2.5 will be made of. Not so much new features to work on, 
as GrafX2 matures.
